Left: AC/VC* 30/350/16/100% Right: APRV* P32/0, T2/0.5, Fi 35% CXRs are 3hrs apart. No lasix, no dialysis, still supine. The diff btw L & R is JUST a vent mode change. 🤯

In a pre-planned analysis of immunocompromised critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure, bronchoscopy was associated with better diagnosis and management but worse outcome. The decision to perform bronchoscopy should be individualised. bit.ly/2Dusahh
In light of current evidence, continued recommendations supporting lactate-guided resuscitation strategy will only encourage over-resuscitation and the downstream harms associated with such aggressive strategies, says @emnerd_. #FOAMed #FOAMres bit.ly/2J46WKK
